dear maria count me in,
there's a story at the bottom

total appearance ,
Asher… well, what can be said about him… in one word? Gorgeous. He is not one that would draw others to him, but if you were to see him walking down the street, you would not be able to take your eyes off of him. This is not something that de does intentionally, it just seems to happen. Some say that he must have faerie in him to draw such attention. He does not believe this, claiming that it is all in the genes that make women so attached to him.

What is so special about him you ask? Well then, let’s start at the beginning, or in this case, the top. Asher has brown hair – wait. Would one just call it that? Just brown hair? No. if you were to describe it, you would say that Asher has a beautiful shade of rich dark amber hair with natural red highlights. These are not something that appears all the time – only when Asher has spent a good amount of time outside in the sunshine like at a quidditch match. To see his highlights is almost like seeing the sun pop out from behind a cloud after a long cloudy day.

His hair is naturally thick as well, and he loves to run his fingers through it to feel the texture. If there is one luxury that he allows himself, it is expensive hair products that he uses on his hair daily. He believes that his hair is his best feature, and so he likes to take the best care possible of it. It usually has that wind-blown look from all the time that he spends on a broom. He doesn’t usually style it, as he knows it will just get messed up again once he get back up on the broom. This is his most common look. Once in a while, he will wear his hair brushed back or styled, but that is usually at the request of his mother, and it only comes when he has to go to some sort of a function.

The next feature of Asher’s that we will discuss are his eyes. He has very unusual eyes in the fact that his eyes are grey in color. This is a trait that he picked up from his mother, as she also has grey eyes. While her eyes stay a constant grey color, Asher’s eyes are more like a chameleon in the fact that his eyes can change color. They most commonly change between the shades of blue, green and gray. The most common reasons for the eye change is usually because of a change in the light or surroundings, or something simple as what clothes are worn. But perhaps the main reason why his eyes might change color is the changing of emotions. Usually the more emotional or upset Asher is, the greyer and colder his eyes become.

When it comes to body type, Asher is a very muscular young man. Growing up in his years before he would go off to Hogwarts, he spent more time outside with his mother doing yard work as opposed to spending all his time indoors. Even when it rained, he still spent his time outside. It was from this that he got his love of the outdoors. Spending great amounts of time in the sunshine also contributed to the fact that Asher is very tanned, not to mention muscular. He stands at a moderate height of 5’ 11”.

Asher has a 1” scar on the palm of his left hand from being cut by a sharp rock that was buried in the ground one day when he was helping his mother in their garden. He also has the infamous tattoo of the golden snitch in the hollow of his right hip that he got after his very first professional quidditch match that he does not show anyone. Also, when he is home, he tends to forget to shave, and so he tends to get a little scruffy looking. However, this seems to be the time when women are really drawn to him, liking something about his rugged look.

When it comes to clothes, Asher is not picky about what he wears, preferring only that they cover his body and keep him warm and dry. When he is at home on time off, he prefers to wear comfortable clothing, usually being a comfortable worn t-shirt, and a pair of jeans. He tends to wear clothes that will help him to blend in if he has to go anywhere, even though this usually does not last very long. As his face is usually plastered to The Daily Prophet or some other widely received Wizarding newspaper. Asher takes this all in stride however.

full personality ,
To understand a man like Asher Cauldwell it is like trying to understand two sides of the same coin. On one side, you have a very private young man who likes to keep to himself a lot and do little things that relax him and make him happy. He is very close to his family and closest friends, and likes nothing more than to just get together and hang out with them and just have fun, acting every bit of his short twenty years. He loves to escape into Muggle London and go to the cinema with his buddies, or do wild and outrageous things that he cannot do in the muggle world. It is true that yes, most times, Asher is very private, but when he is with his friends, it is exactly the opposite.

Asher has always been a very easygoing and friendly guy, very loud and boisterous with his friends, and is usually the center of attention. Ever since he was a young boy, he has always been able to make friends very easily, and has a very close-knit group of friends that he spends the majority of his time with. While he is usually very loud and outspoken, his words usually are the truth. He has a way of getting right to the center of a matter and addressing it. He does not usually like to lie to someone, but if he feels it is necessary, he will. He would do anything up to sacrificing himself to help anyone of his friends. He has always been very open, and tries to look at the high point in any situation that he finds himself in. While he prefers to look at the bright side, he will try to keep levelheaded and look at both sides of a situation. He is a very confident and hardworking young man, and he knows what he wants to do with his life. His friends and family know that if they need him, Asher will always be there for them. He has always been very reliable. It is said that he is the kind of man that wears his heart on his sleeve, and that can possibly get him into trouble.

Perhaps the biggest weakness in his life would have to be the safety and happiness of his friends and family members. He can never seem to turn away anyone who is in pain. He also hates to see discrimination because of blood. He will treat people the same way regardless of their blood. He sees no difference between those who are muggle born as opposed to someone that was magical born. He sees them as people who are trying to make their way in the world. Perhaps his greatest weakness in his life is love. He has seen the outstanding and many highs that love can bring to a person, but he has also seen the crashing lows that it can bring as well. Being who he is, he has had girls everywhere throw themselves at him for their fifteen minutes of fame, but Asher still holds out for that one girl to come into his life who will not treat him any different despite him being famous.

And then there is the other side of the coin. The side where he is a famous professional quidditch player; seeker for the Puddlemere United quidditch team. It seems that almost over night, he has become what would be called in the muggle world a media sensation. Every step he takes it seems is public knowledge. While he truly loves what he does, he knows that he could live with out all the scrutiny that he has found has become a constant in his life. This sort of life has given him some of his best traits, and his worst traits. His best traits is that he can be a very good listener when he is with someone, and he has not let the fact that he is famous go to his head. He is still the same person, the love of his family having kept him grounded. He was raised to be a gentleman, and so on the off chances that he is able to get away from nosy reporters dodging his every move, and is able to go on a date, he is a complete gentleman to her and caters to her every whim. Of course, on the other side of the coin is the fact that he is never home and always out on the road between games could be a bad trait. He also is known to not be very tidy when he is home, his clothes thrown all over the floor and his furniture. More than once, something quidditch will slip out of his mouth, and his parents have been known to tell him to give the quidditch talk a rest when he is able to get home on his off weeks. He tends to get lost in though, and he can unintentionally ignore whomever is trying to talk to him.[/ul]

watch the way you,
take the stage by storm !

patronus , Asher’s greatest memory would have to be the first time that he caught the snitch in a professional quidditch game. For a few moments, he could not actually believe that he had done it, imagining that he was dreaming like he had so many times before, and he just stared at the snitch in his hand for a few moments until he heard the screaming of his team mates, cheering for him, and he realized that it had not been just a dream or a fantasy.

boggart , He had a run in with a snake when he was a young boy, almost being bitten. Ever since then, he has been terrified of snakes. His boggart would have to be a giant snake chasing after him and he can find no way to get away from it.

amortentia , He loves the smell of the air on his face when he is flying.

dementor , It is not actually a memory, but it is a dream that he seems to have before every game that he is in. He dreams that he is chasing after the golden snitch against the seeker from the competing team, and something happens, either a bludger or a shove or hit gone wrong, but all he knows is that he is falling through the air, and he can see the ground getting closer and closer to him and he begins to sweat knowing that he is going to hit the ground hard, and there is nothing that he can do to stop it. He always wakes up right before he hits the ground, soaked with sweat and panting frantically.

The happiest memory that he can remember is a combination of two different times in his life. The day that he made the quidditch team after he thought that he had botched his try-out, and then the day of his first match when he literally caught the snitch out from under the other team’s seeker.

the way you wrap those boys,
around your finger go on ,

[/color] ,[/b] both of his parents, Samuel and Ellie Cauldwell are still alive, and they have never missed one of their son’s games. They always sit in the exact same seat in the stands of every game, so that Asher can see them when he flies by during the team role call before every game.
Older sister _____. She and Asher have always had an amazing relationship, and she is one of her brother’s biggest supporters of his quidditch career. Not to say that she has not gotten peeved at him with his constant quidditch talk when he is home on breaks.

other important figures , not really much of anyone… maybe a few Aunts and Uncles and cousins.

complete history ,
The story and journey of Asher Royce Cauldwell started differently than others might have expected for a quidditch star. For most, it would say that a child was born to so and so, but for Asher; it is a bit different in the way that Asher is adopted. He was adopted when he was only a few months old, and so the Cauldwell’s are the only family that he knows. The fact that he is adopted was never kept from him, his parents wanting him to know that they chose him. For Samuel and Ellie Cauldwell, the decision to adopt was a hard one. Ellie had gone through a very hard pregnancy with their daughter, almost dying when it came time to give birth to her, and for many months following their daughters birth, there was talk that the little girl would be an only child.

It wasn’t until their daughter was going on four years old, and Ellie had suffered her third miscarriage that the couple finally broached the subject about adoption. It was not something that was as popular in the Wizarding World as it was in the Muggle World, but it was still there. It was slow at first, but once Samuel and Ellie got more used to the idea, they worked harder at it. However, it almost didn’t happen. After searching for close to six months for a child, they still had not found one, and they were getting discouraged. This all changed, when they were introduced to the newest child at the orphanage. The little boy in question who would become Asher Cauldwell had been left on the doorstep to the orphanage with no way of identifying him. At first sight, Ellie fell in love with him and decided that he was the one that they wanted to adopt. Their adoption was finalized on September 17, the same day that they would choose to be their son’s birthday.

Before going to Hogwarts, Asher's parents sent him to a muggle grammar school because they wanted him to also see the world from a muggles point of view. This has influenced who Asher is, and how he treats people. He has a great respect for muggles, and he has friends who are muggles. He finds it very easy to fit in in that world, and he does not feel himself uncomfortable when around them. When he went to Hogwarts, Asher was sorted into Ravenclaw. He felt himself right at home, and quickly made a place for himself. He easily found himself a circle of friends that he spent most of his time with. In classes, he found his strengths were in the fields of muggle studies, and transfigurations. When it came time for OWL's in his fifth year, he received a handful of OWLS, receiving O's and EE’s in Astronomy, DADA, Transfiguration, and Muggle Studies. His biggest disappointment however, was the subject of potions. No matter what he seemed to do, that was always the one subject that he struggled with year after year, and when it came time to take his potions OWL, he received his biggest disappointment when he completely failed at making the required potion, and overall receiving an A on his potions OWL.

During Asher’s years at Hogwarts, he found many things that he enjoyed doing, and the activity that was at the top of that list was quidditch. When he played quidditch, he found a freedom that he could not seem to find anywhere else, and he was a natural on a broom almost from the very first moment. He heard from many of his professors that he took after the famous Harry Potter in that regard, something that stunned him into an inability to speak for a few moments. He became seeker for his house team when he was in his second year after the previous seeker graduated. To him, it was like a freedom that he had never had before, and he relished it. It was funny, considering from the time Asher had been a little boy, he had always had a problem with heights. He was not deathly afraid of heights, he just did not like them. But it seemed for quidditch, he could make an exception. Now in the beginning, he did have some problems with his position as seeker. He seemed to have trouble spotting the snitch during the game. Many times, by the time he had spotted it, the other team’s seeker was already going after it. This problem cost him a few games in the beginning. But Asher worked past this, and by the time the winter holidays came around, he was a force to be reckoned with.

It was when he was in his seventh year that he started getting owls from professional quidditch teams, offering him chances and opportunities to attend auditions that they were putting on. For a little while, Asher thought they were not real; that they were jokes being played on him. It was not until the quidditch professor at Hogwarts approached him about the owls that he began to think that maybe they were for real. Ever since he had taken the OWL’s in his fifth year, Asher had been deep in thought as to what he particularly wanted to do when he graduated from Hogwarts, and he had never thought about playing quidditch professionally, always thinking that he would choose something a bit more common, and something more guaranteed to bring in steady money for him to live on once he was out in the world on his own. He had been about to make his decision to become an Auror trainee after school when his mother Ellie told him to at least give quidditch a chance and see where it went.

Now when Asher got to that first audition, he almost turned around and walked out. There were so many other people there seemingly trying out for the same position. As there were only seven positions to be filled, plus possibly seven back up positions, Asher would have many people to try out against, and he knew there would be a good possibility that the owners of the teams just would not choose him in their final choice as to who would be good for their team. Over the course of his entire seventh year at Hogwarts, it seemed every weekend or every other weekend he was at some sort of tryouts or another. One by one, he would mark another team off his list as teams made their final selections. Finally it was down to one team left; Puddlemere United. Asher felt his chances of getting onto a team becoming slimmer and slimmer as he watched others audition. But he went into that audition hoping that the owners would see something in him that they liked, and they would choose him for their team.

It seemed like no time at all before he was told to mount his broom and show them what he could do. He took off into the sky, his eyes never stopping as he searched for the snitch. Finally he found it by the keeper rings on the other side of the field and he took off. He had his arm outstretched, the snitch only scant inches from his fingers when the worst happened… his broom was jostled violently from behind and Asher lost his grasp, falling from his broom. Having had left his wand in the locker room, he had no way of stopping himself, and he tried to brace himself for his crash onto the ground, knowing that he would most likely break something. But it seemed that someone was looking out for him. He felt someone grab him and stop his fall, one of the other seeker candidates seeing his fall and saving him. His name was Marcus Sloan, and he would end up making the team as a beater. However, at that moment, that was neither here nor there. All Asher could think about was the fact that he had blown the audition, and he returned to the locker room to pack up his bag to return to Hogwarts. He had an exam in Transfiguration to study for, not to mention the looming NEWT’s at the end of the year. That was where the captain of the team found him forty-five minutes later. His message was short and simple. He had made the team. If asked, Asher would not have been able to tell what happened the rest of the day, all his thoughts centered around the fact that he had made it onto a professional quidditch team.

Asher’s first game was on his eighteenth birthday, September seventeenth, and for Asher, it was the start of a career he hoped would last a very long time. The game, in the reasoning of time did not last very long, but it would always be one of the greatest moments of Asher’s so far young life. After just a twenty minute period, he caught the golden snitch to win the game. As a celebration, his team mates took him out, got him extremely drunk, and then finally took him to get a tattoo to always remember. The tattoo was, of course, a golden snitch, placed in the hollow of his right hip. It is now seven years later, and Asher is getting the reputation as one of the best seekers in the world.[/ul]
